Maintaining a clean Onewheel is crucial for both appearance and safety. Regular cleaning restores grip tape quality and boosts your confidence during rides. The Onewheel Official website suggests using a damp cloth for rails and a dry scrub brush for tires and footpads. However, a more thorough approach might be needed. Here’s a dry-cleaning method in five steps:
1. Use compressed air to remove debris from the charge port and cover it.
2. Scrub with a brush to loosen dirt and dried mud.
3. Blow away loose debris and sand with compressed air.
4. If grip tape has dried mud, a rubber cleaning stick works well without harming the tape.
5. Finish with another brush and compressed air, and consider using baby wipes on rails and fender.
It’s essential to avoid hosing down your Onewheel, as it’s water-resistant, not waterproof. Electronics can be damaged by water, and water exposure voids the warranty. While some may risk hosing down their boards, the potential for water damage and warranty issues makes dry cleaning the safer choice to maintain your investment.
